Dancing with Helium

Updated: Mar 29

Move in slow motion   

Lifted by helium

New equilibrium

Reach for the moon

 

Balloon ballet

Under storm clouds

 

Enjoy new found agility

Less bound by gravity

More dancability

 

Still limited

But not defeated

By dopamine deficiency

 

Aided in this lunar levity

By low density of

Ancient element with

Enviable attribute

Of super fluidity 

 

I'm swimming in air

The breast stroke

Front crawl

We dance as best we can

Our purpose in intention

Not execution

 

Each stretch

Each twist 

Each step in time

Challenges simple notions

Of what's possible

 

No pretence or denial

But we play with

Brain and body potential.

 

Rain bursts from the sky

I hold my arms out wide

Stand straight and tall

Look up and out

 

Feel the rain on my chest

Feel the rain

Feel

 

Stand straight and tall

Look up and out.
